I just spent this weekend at the Guadalupe River in TX, and I definitely recommend this place for everybody , the river itself is beautiful , clean and not dangerous at all if you act responsibly .

Summer time in Texas gets hot! If you have a state park pass be sure to check this out. Depending on the current rain fall the river will be low or high. Either way, great for swimming and exploring.
